Graves Announces Hearing on State of the Small Business Economy

Washington D.C.,

-

On Wednesday, February 13, House Small Business Committee Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO) will hold a hearing titled, “State of the Small Business Economy.” The hearing will analyze the health of the small business community, including an examination of access to capital and other economic concerns facing small business owners.

“Small businesses lead the United States economy and private sector job growth,” said Chairman Graves. “Therefore, it is imperative that Washington addresses the top barriers to growth that small companies face. Most of the feedback we’ve heard from small businesses is consistent with this month’s discouraging economic data and smallbusinesssurveys. Under this Administration, small business owners are not confident about the economic environment because of inconsistent access to capital, the wave of federal regulations, including those from the health care law, and a growing federal debt.”
